Our Third Space

📢 Important Update from Our 3rd Space

We’ve decided to postpone this weekend’s market and take a step back to rethink how we can best support our small business community.

With so many markets and events happening in our area, we’ve noticed it’s become harder not only to fill vendor spots but also to bring in foot traffic, people’s time and money are spread thin, and it shows. This impacts all of us trying to showcase our work and keep our doors open.

So, moving forward we’ll be pausing frequent markets and returning to what worked best in the past: one thoughtfully curated themed market each month. This way, we can give vendors and guests something truly special to look forward to — and make sure your time and effort are well spent.

In between, we’ll focus on hosting more small workshops, pop-ups, and creative gatherings, giving our community new ways to connect and grow together.

Thank you for understanding, and for continuing to show up for us and all the amazing makers, artists, and entrepreneurs we partner with. 💛 Stay tuned for updates on our next market and new events — we can’t wait to share more soon.

🌟 Help Us Keep Our Space Thriving! 🌟

Over the past few months, Our 3rd Space has grown into a place where small vendors, local artists, and neighbors can come together to build something special. We’ve been able to host free gatherings, support small businesses, and provide mutual aid, all thanks to the support of people like you. But to keep this dream alive, we need your help to ensure our space remains accessible, affordable, and welcoming for everyone.

Here’s how you can make a difference:
- Donate supplies: Art materials, event essentials, or anything that can help us continue to create and connect.
- Contribute financially: Every dollar you give helps us host more events, support small businesses, and provide resources for entrepreneurs to grow.
- Spread the word: Follow us on social media, share our story, and help us reach more people who believe in the power of community.

We appreciate any support you can offer. If you’d like to contribute financially, you can donate directly to our GoFundMe, link located in our Bio. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us keep our space thriving and our community growing.

Our 3rd Space is a labor of love. It’s a place where small businesses can take their first steps, where neighbors can connect, and where anyone can feel like they belong. But we can’t do it alone. Together, we can create a stronger, more vibrant Vancouver one where everyone has a chance to grow and succeed!

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support, no matter how big or small, makes all the difference. 💛

With gratitude,
Our 3rd Space Family
